  1. Data were presented as means ± standard deviation or number. Statistics for sex and MRI were derived from the chi-square test, and statistics for other variables were derived from one-way ANOVA
  2. SCD-Q Subjective cognitive decline questionnaire, MMSE Mini-mental state examination, TIV Total intracranial volume, IQR Image quality rating
